'EA' Game 11: Bob's Back

Posted Nov 10, 2012
by Aaron Portzline

Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky returned to his early-season form with a 30-save performace, leading the Blue Jackets to a 4-2 win over St. Louis in the Puck-rakers / EA Sports season simulation. The Jackets had lost four straight in our cyber simulation.

The Blue Jackets were outshot 32-21 but never trailed. Artem Anisimov and Brandon Dubinsky each had a goal and an assist for the Jackets (5-3-2), who also got goals from Cam Atkinson and Derek MacKenzie, his first of the season. Defenseman Fedor Tyutin had two assists.

Bobrovsky has been the Blue Jackets' bedrock so far. With last night's game, he's 5-1-2 with a .931 save percentage and 2.74 goals-against average.

Anisimov has been key, too. This was his third multi-point game and he has 4-4-8 on the season. Only Derick Brassard (6-3-9) has has more points.
